Download or read book Political Women written by Janet A. Flammang and published by SAGE Publications, Incorporated. This book was released on 1984-07-01 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Political Women examines women's roles in American state and local politics. Three major trends in these areas are discussed, which suggest that a 'quiet revolution' is taking place in politics at state and local levels. The authors develop four provocative themes relating to the role of women in politics, their status in relation to political parties, the differences in men's and women's politics, and the significance of the female electorate. Political Women constitutes an important addition to the series, and will be of interest to those studying the place of women in modern society, political scientists, and students of American government and politics.

Download or read book The Politics of the Gender Gap written by Carol M. Mueller and published by . This book was released on with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The political mobilization of women and identification of 'women's special interests' has made gender an important factor in electoral behaviour. Using election studies, media analysis, economics, history, sociology and policy studies, The Politics of the Gender Gap presents state-of-the-art empirical research on the emergence of women as a voting block. The book reveals that although the gender gap is a social and political creation that is still ill-defined, its potential to influence politics is significant. The contributors explain the origins of the gender gap; its use by women's organizations, the media and political parties; and its implications for the election of women.
Download or read book Being SAGE written by SAGE Publishing and published by SAGE Publications. This book was released on 2021-05-25 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over drinks with her favorite professor and her future husband, a 25-year-old Sara Miller founded one of the most influential academic publishing houses on the planet. This career-spanning autobiography follows Sara Miller McCune and the company that emerged from that cocktail hour, SAGE Publishing. Read along as over 55 years SAGE grows from publishing a single journal promoted by direct mail (from a list provided by Daniel Patrick Moynihan) into a globe-spanning and proudly independent company with a core belief that engaged scholarship lies at the heart of any healthy society. While the book is an excellent source for those interested in publishing, education (especially the rise of social science in the post-war academy), and entrepreneurship, perhaps its most powerful impact is as an inspiring tale for young women anxious to start their own business and chart an independent course in life.

Download or read book A Feminist in the White House written by Doreen J. Mattingly and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Midge Costanza was one of the unlikeliest of White House insiders. But for a time during the seventies, this "loud-mouthed, pushy little broad" with no college education was a prominent focal point of the American culture wars. In this book, Doreen J. Mattingly draws on Costanza's life to tell a wider, but heretofore neglected, story of the hopeful yet fraught era of gender politics in late 70s Washington - a history that is not just important to US women's and presidential history but which continues to resonate in politics today.
Download or read book Women The Misunderstood Majority written by M. Gay Hubbard and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2003-05-12 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fact: Women are the major consumers of counseling services today. Fact: The average counselor (male or female, secular or pastoral) has little or no specific training in the psychology of women or in understanding women's issues. Result: A widespread therapy gap that reduces respect, hinders healing, and breeds frustration. M. Gay Hubbard writes to close that disturbing gap by exposing common misbeliefs and faulty assumptions about women that can block understanding and perpetuate pain. Her aim in this provocative yet balanced book is to: ¥ Increase women's self-understanding and make them smarter consumers of counseling services. ¥ Challenge the myths of womanhood--old and new--that pervade our culture and can skew the thinking of counselor and client alike. ¥ Expose faulty assumptions about women and therapy that may sabotage a counselor's best efforts--and even increase the risk of sexual abuse. ¥ Examine the politics of gender research--and show why data about sex differences is often manipulated and misinterpreted to further particular agendas. ¥ Encourage women and their counselors to look at the business of healing with fresh hope, deeper understanding, and an abiding sense of compassion. Impeccably researched, highly readable, challenging but never strident, 'Women: The Misunderstood Majority' is designed to open eyes and heal hearts, and to open the way for more women to lead productive and fulfilling lives.

Download or read book Second World Second Sex written by Kristen Ghodsee and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2019-01-31 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women from the state socialist countries in Eastern Europe—what used to be called the Second World—once dominated women’s activism at the United Nations, but their contributions have been largely forgotten or deemed insignificant in comparison with those of Western feminists. In Second World, Second Sex Kristen Ghodsee rescues some of this lost history by tracing the activism of Eastern European and African women during the 1975 United Nations International Year of Women and the subsequent Decade for Women (1976-1985). Focusing on case studies of state socialist Bulgaria and nonaligned but socialist-leaning Zambia, Ghodsee examines the feminist networks that developed between the Second and Third Worlds and shows how alliances between socialist women challenged American women’s leadership of the global women’s movement. Drawing on interviews and archival research across three continents, Ghodsee argues that international ideological competition between capitalism and socialism profoundly shaped the world women inhabit today.
